Inspiration and Counsel From Paramahansa Yogananda 

 

When Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do," he was exercising divine compassion and understanding. Through such a life and example we know how kind and loving is the Heavenly Father. Great ones reflect the nature of God. 

Greater than the destructive force of hate is the compassionate power of love. Whatever you say or do to others, let it be with love. Harm no one. Judge not others. Hate none, love all....Whatever blessings you have, desire that all should have.   

It is the Lord who is the real sufferer in all beings; therefore, He is the kindness of empathy, the infinite compassion upon whose mercy all beings may cast themselves. 

 

If anyone hurts you and you forgive him, you are leading yourself to the kingdom of God. If anyone is quarrelsome and you give understanding, you are taking yourself to the kingdom of God. If someone is suffering and you reach out with aid and compassion, you are moving into the presence of God.  
 

 

  

At this season of hope and renewal, may the universal Easter message of Christ's victorious life and resurrection, which holds out to every soul the promise of ultimate liberation from the confines of maya, awaken in you greater faith that you too can rise above the world's dualities. The Christ Consciousness, so fully manifest in Jesus, is present in every atom, in every living thing, and in each one of us. But the outer drama of creation with its opposites of good and evil, life and death, so engrosses our mind and emotions that we forget our innate divinity. Great avatars like Christ, who see God's image in every soul, incarnate to rouse the spiritual conqueror in us and show us by their example how to cast off those mortal constraints and express our true limitless Self.
